Accidents at Work

Accidents are more common at work than many people realize. In addition to occurring in the most obvious and more publicized areas, such as in the construction industry, they can occur on the shop floor or in the office or in any work environment. Examples include tripping over items in an office, falling from a height and lifting.

It is the employer’s duty to provide a safe working environment and safe working conditions. Any failure in performing this duty can put you and/or your colleagues at risk. Employers also have to perform the duty of carrying out risk assessments and keeping the risk of accidents to a minimum. In addition to this, employers must provide appropriate personal protective equipment.

Any breach of negligence or statutory duty by an employer can lead to a claim if an accident follows. If you feel that you may have suffered a workplace accident then please contact us now, for free, no obligation advice.

If we believe that your claim has a reasonable prospect of success, then we can handle it under a No Win, No Fee Agreement.

If the claim is successful, you will receive 100% of your compensation. Our costs and third party fees are paid by the losing party as well as any compensation awarded in your favor.

If the claim is successful then you will be entitled to claim general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (the extent to which your life has been affected by the accident), as well as special damages for items such as loss of earnings, the costs of treatment and damaged clothing.

Trips and Slips

If you have slipped in a shop or other public place, or tripped on an uneven surface or broken pavement, you may be able to claim compensation for any injuries suffered. These types of accident are common and can result in injuries ranging from sprained ankles to serious head injuries.

Those responsible for public places owe a duty of care to take reasonable steps to make sure that the public is reasonably safe when visiting public areas. The same rules apply to local councils, supermarkets, restaurants and shops.

Employers also owe specific duties to employees to prevent slipping and tripping accidents at work.

You may be able to make a compensation claim for injuries sustained through a trip or fall.

Industrial Disease

There are various types of industrial diseases for which a claim can be made, including:-

Noise Induced Hearing Loss where there is exposure to a noisy environment in the workplace

Asbestos Related Disease

Dermatitis

Repetitive Strain Injury or Work Related Upper Limb Disorders, caused where the work processes lead to a repetitive strain on the upper limbs

Occupational Asthma

If you feel that you may be suffering from any of the above due to the nature of your job, contact us for a free no obligation assessment.

It is important to remember that you have 3 years from when you had reasonable grounds for bringing a claim in which to commence Court Proceedings, otherwise the claim is likely to be statute barred. The Court does have discretion to extend that period, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If your claim is successful then you will receive 100% of your compensation. We will endeavour to recover our costs separately from the defendant or insurer.

If you do not have any other method available, such as an existing policy of Legal Expenses Insurance, then we are always prepared to consider handling this area of work under a No Win, No Fee Agreement if we believe there is a sufficient prospect of success.

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery has become vastly popular over recent years with over 70,000 men and women spending over £200 million per annum on cosmetic procedures to improve their appearance.

Nevertheless, with cosmetic surgeons being less regulated than NHS and private surgeons under medical law, there are also a vast amount of scenarios of cosmetic surgery having gone wrong. These include:

Should you feel that you are a victim of cosmetic surgery having gone wrong due to the negligence of the surgeon involved, please contact our personal injury lawyers in Harrow to discuss a compensation claim. If we believe that your claim has reasonable prospects, we will handle your claim under a No Win, No Fee Agreement. You will receive 100% of your compensation and we will seek to recover our costs from the defendant or insurer.
